Marjorie Margolies (D) defeated by Brendan Boyle (D) who is pro-life.
Despite the support of both former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Marjorie Margolies, Chelsea Clinton’s mother-in-law, has lost her Democratic primary bid for the Congress.
The Associated Press called the race for her opponent, Brendan Boyle.
At 37, Boyle, a state legislator, is 15 years younger than his next-youngest opponent. His campaign raised the least amount of money. He lacked his opponents’ powerful connections to the Philadelphia political establishment.
And yet, he just beat the Clinton family at its own game, winning the race for Pennsylvania’s 13th district.

Bill Clinton hasn’t campaigned for any candidate as much as he has for Margolies, with a fundraiser, an ad, and a robo-call on her behalf. While serving Congress in 1993, Margolies famously cast a controversial vote in favor of the Clinton budget. The fallout from the vote cost her the seat, and hers’ became the textbook case of a career-ending vote. ABC News called her favor to Clinton “the most celebrated political debt of the year.â€
While Hillary Clinton has shied away from 2014 campaign events, she made an exception for a fundraiser on Margolies’ behalf, which the former congresswoman did not attend.

The end for the Clinton's ? :-)

Luster lost? probably. They still have a nice thick coating of slime though.

Bill is the only one with Charisma. Hillary is a B*tch. Chelsea is a talentless dog.
Only Bill could walk away from Benghazi unscathed. Bill doesn't shriek at reporters, or treat them badly.
Bottom line: Bill's charisma covered up all his corruption. Hillary cannot hide her evil.

I think in 2016, the Democrat Presidential candidate is going to be some unknown, not Hillary Clinton.

Bill has his own problem brewing that ties into Hillary, too.
Bill, Hillary and the Haiti Debacle
Haitians are upset by the reconstruction effort managed by the Clintons.
The news website Tout Haiti reported last month that two prominent lawyers have petitioned Haiti's Superior Court of Auditors and Administrative Disputes, demanding an audit of Bill Clinton's management of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC). There are powerful interests that won't want to see the petition succeed and it may go nowhere. But the sentiment it expresses is spreading fast. In the immortal words of Charlie Brown, Mr. Clinton has gone from hero to goat.
Four years after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake toppled the capital city of Port-au-Prince and heavily damaged other parts of the country, hundreds of millions of dollars from the State Department's U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), allocated to the IHRC, are gone. Hundreds of millions more to the IHRC from international donors have also been spent. Left behind is a mishmash of low quality, poorly thought-out development experiments and half-finished projects.
Haitians are angry, frustrated and increasingly suspicious of the motives of the IHRC and of its top official, Mr. Clinton. Americans might feel the same way if they knew more about this colossal failure. One former Haitian official puts it this way: "I really cannot understand how you could raise so much money, put a former U.S. president in charge, and get this outcome."

Lost their luster? Oh, they're still the shiniest turds in the bowl.

Have the Clinton's lost their luster
Depends on how you mean it. Remember, in Billy Jeff's mind, "harass" is two words. :naughty:

One of the best definitions of the Clintons I've seen. Except I disagree with one thing. Bill's "charisma" to me is disgusting. I never could understand women back in the day saying how handsome he was. Blech. :puke:
